Why do scientists build models? How can a model help us understand something too big, too small, or too complex to see?
About
From giant protein structures to anatomical casts and maps, discover how models have helped scientists make sense of the world. Explore examples from biology, chemistry, and physics, and find out how scientific models have changed our understanding of nature, medicine, and the human body.
There will be a brief introduction to the session at the start of each hour.
Meet in the Learning Gallery. Drop-in, free.
